Every day Quote by Abigail Keam
““Cut the hair off. I mean all of it. Especially that ridiculous ponytail.” Neff started to protest. “Shut up. You have had your turn. Again, cut the entire head. Your hair is not worth saving and bald men can be sexy. Shave. I mean every day and put on cologne. Wear clothes from this decade. Get rid of the jewelry except for a ring, and wax that obnoxious hair from your back and neck. It peeks out from your clothes. It’s a wonder that you don’t walk on all fours.” “Hey!” “Women do not like overly hairy men. It reminds us too much of the cave era when we were chattel.””
